Hi !I use several ContainerController in my app, and I have some problem with the text selection.The selection, or the click on the text, throws a #1009 error on ContainerController/scrollTimerHandler(), or on ContainerController/mouseDownHandler().When I select the text of the first container, I can make a selection on the first characters. Then, the #1009 error is throws on ContainerController/scrollTimerHandler().If I click after the first characters selectable, the #1009 error on mouseDownHandler() is throws (much more difficult to reproduce).In my app, ContainerController can't have necessary text.Any suggestions? My problem is little harder to define here.... And my english is not very good !regardsFabien

hi allim useing createTextLinesFromString to put text in a boxthere are hyperlinks in the texthow can i make the hyperlinks clickeble and underlined?is there an automatic way to do it?10xdan shamir

I'm curious what's not working here. Any pointers appreciated. The slider is being used to set any value on the ContainerControllers, but vertical scrollPosition is always reported back as 0. Thanks,private function init():void {        XML.ignoreWhitespace = false;    textFlow = TextFlowUtil.importFromXML(textXML, TextConverter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT);        tsprite = new Sprite();    tsprite.x = 0;    tsprite.y = 20;    textHolder.addChild(tsprite);    var tcc:ContainerController = new ContainerController(tsprite, 500, 400);    textFlow.flowComposer.addController(tcc);        bsprite = new Sprite();    bsprite.x = width/2;    bsprite.y = 20 + (height/2);    textHolder.addChild(bsprite);    var bcc:ContainerController = new ContainerController(bsprite,

I'm trying to draw buttons next to link elements in the textflow. I'm using TextArea.textFlow.flowComposer.findLineAtPosition() to get a TextFlowLine so I can find out the y position of the line so that I can draw the button next to the line. My problem is that the first time the function is called that draws the buttons, every TextFlowLine I get from the TextFlow is null. The TextFlow doesn't give me non-null TextFlowLines until after I mouse over the Text area.Is there a function or something I can call to make sure that the TextFlow is ready to go before my other function gets called?Thanks.

I need to perform a log in in my [BeforeClass] method.  Unfortunately, this log in takes place Asynchronously outside of the test.  This results in the [Test] methods being performed before the [BeforeClass] has completed.  Is there a way I can wait on an event in the [BeforeClass] method before proceeding to the [Before] and [Test] methods?  Examples would be great, thanks!-Andrew

When running FlexUnit 4, I am noticing trace messages looking like this:7/27/2009 10:58:41.009 [INFO] mx.messaging.Producer 'FDAD15E2-EEEE-74B1-54C2-BD5B98A7AD5A' producer sending message 'D8B2CCED-A9AA-25BB-2FE2-BD5D4071F875'7/27/2009 10:58:41.424 [INFO] mx.messaging.Producer 'FDAD15E2-EEEE-74B1-54C2-BD5B98A7AD5A' producer acknowledge of 'D8B2CCED-A9AA-25BB-2FE2-BD5D4071F875'.7/27/2009 10:58:41.424 [INFO] mx.rpc.http.HTTPService Decoding HTTPService responseIs there any way I can disable these messages?Thanks!Brian

Are there known issues with using the [Ignore] metadata to prevent my tests from being run? When trying to use it, I am seeing very strang behavior: the test runner seems to actually stop running or run an unexpected subset of testsIf it's not, I can work up a simple example to reproduce it.Thanks!Brian

is there any way to control the browser actions e.g. refresh browser in FlexUnit or Actionscript?

I am endeavouring to create a project using these in combination. When I created my test runner under SDK 4, it would fail while trying to initialise the test. I decided to build FlexUnit 4 with SDK 4 but it doesn't seem to find the mx name space.Is there a version of FlexUnit 4 built for SDk 4? If not is there some rules for the conversion of a project so it can be built under SDK 4.I know Flash Builder 4 will build FlexUnit and rune the FlexUnit TuirnKey tests if I leave it using SDK 3.2 but I am keen to get on with learning and using SDK 4.

I’m building a TLF-based component that extends UIComponent in Flex 3.3.I basically want the component to have the same behavior of am mx:Text component, where the size of the component is whatever the size of the content in the textFlow is (unless an explicitHeight or percentHeight is set).So in my component I’m calling the setComposition size and updateAllControllers in the updateDisplayList method once I’ve got the unscaledWidth/Height. But what I really want to do is measure the height of the text in measure() and set the measuredHeight there. At the moment I’m doing two passes on updateDisplayList – firstly to set the initial composition size, then going back to measure to set measuredHeight once I can access the getContentBounds() of the composition.Question is, is there a better way to measure the content before getting to updateDisplayList?

how to migrate the Flexmonkey's ActionScripts to run in FlexUnit?an example will be great. thanks!!

Hi,I've been using Cairngorm on a large project, my first time using it. I'm a little confused by what is happening with Cairngorm.  The only reason I used Cairngorm over the others is it's endorsed by Adobe, but it seems from my point of view Adobe has giving up on it, because I am not seeing anything change in the documentation.An example, is I found this presentation at Maxhttps://share.acrobat.com/adc/adc.do?docid=bc5b2ad3-e2c4-4891-a6df-74ce010e9821Alistair explains in the slides a lot of things that go directly against what I have read in the Cairngorm Docs.  So, apparently I'm making big mistakes by including properties in my modellocator, not using objects in the model, and not using a Presentation Layers, etc, etc. Also, the slide show has no audio or video, so I have no way of learning more of what he is really saying.I'm confused why the docs have not been updated to reflect the slides, and also why we can't listen to the audio/video to learn more about how we SHOU

I am using Flex Gumbo & the FlexUnit 4 beta 1.0 release and have a question about using the flex.lang.reflect.utils.MetadataTools methods. The methods will not work if you directly pass in the result of the describeType() call. It seems like they are expecting a different XML format, as they will work as I expect if I pass xmlTypeDescription.factory instead. Is this expected? Sending only the factory child is an acceptable workaround, but doesn't seem very intuitive.The two methods I am currently using:MetadataTools.nodeHasMetaData()MetadataTools.getMethodsList()Thanks!Brian
